Clearly, were not going to be able to negotiate or shame you into decency, Stewart said on pal Stephen Colberts The Late Show.

Jon Stewart began the month of June with a triumphant return to the stand-up stage. Hes ending it with a return to late-night TV, where he delivered a message to President Donald Trump Thursday night alongside his old friend Stephen Colbert.
Tagging in for Colbert on The Late Show at the end of a very tough week, Stewart decided to speak directly to the president. Hello, Donald. Its me, the guy you made sure everyone knew was Jewish on Twitter, he began, referring to his infamous online feud with Trump. I know youre upset about all the criticism youve been taking in the fake news and the fake late-night shows. Its just that were still having a little trouble adjusting to your presidency as it goes into its 500th year.
Everythings off its axis, its a little unusual, he continued. Apparently, Putin and Kim Jong Un are noble, intelligent role models, and Canadas a bunch of giant assholes. But, he said, If theres one hallmark to your presidency that I think were finding most difficult, its that, no matter what you do, it always comes with an extra layer of gleeful cruelty and dickishness.

We can not ever call his cruelty as anything other than what it is......wrong.

To prevail, we have to recognize that goes for all those who've taken over the Republican Party. Their only principle is that losing is unacceptable. And that's all that is unacceptable.
